JP-45, an integral protein of the junctional face membrane of the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), colocalizes with its Ca²⁺-release channel (the ryanodine receptor), and interacts with calsequestrin and the skeletal-muscle dihydropyridine receptor Ca_v1. We have identified the domains of JP-45 and the Ca_v1.1 involved in this interaction, and investigated the functional effect of JP-45. The cytoplasmic domain of JP-45, comprising residues 1-80, interacts with Ca_v1.1. JP-45 interacts with two distinct and functionally relevant domains of Ca_v1.1, the I-II loop and the C-terminal region. Interaction between JP-45 and the I-II loop occurs through the -interacting domain in the I-II loop. ß1a, a Ca_v1 subunit, also interacts with the cytosolic domain of JP-45, and its presence drastically reduces the interaction between JP-45 and the I-II loop. The functional effect of JP-45 on Ca_v1.1 activity was assessed by investigating charge movement in differentiated C2C12 myotubes after overexpression or depletion of JP-45. Overexpression of JP-45 decreased peak charge-movement and shifted V_Q1/2 to a more negative potential (-10 mV). JP-45 depletion decreased both the content of Ca_v1.1 and peak charge-movements. Our data demonstrate that JP-45 is an important protein for functional expression of voltage-dependent Ca²⁺ channels.
